Cybersecurity: IEC 62443
Cybersecurity – IEC 62443
IEC 62443 is the internationally recognized cybersecurity standard designed specifically for industrial automation and control systems. It provides a comprehensive framework that protects operational technology environments against evolving cyber threats. The standard defines clear requirements for system integrators, service providers, and equipment manufacturers to ensure secure design, deployment, and maintenance practices. Achieving IEC 62443-2-4 certification demonstrates a company’s capability to deliver secure and reliable industrial services that meet global cybersecurity expectations. This certification validates that robust processes, risk management procedures, and security controls are effectively implemented throughout the service lifecycle. As cyber risks increase across all industries, IEC 62443 serves as a cornerstone for safeguarding critical infrastructure and enabling trustworthy smart manufacturing. With this foundation, organizations can confidently build secure, connected systems that support long-term operational resilience.
